Burnham Series 8H/8HE Boiler Instruccion De Instalación

I. Pre-Installation

Carefully read all instructions before installing

boiler. Failure to follow all instructions in proper

order can cause personal injury or death.

Inspect shipment carefully for any signs of damage.

All equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected

and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery

of boiler to carrier in good condition. Any claim

for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed

immediately against carrier by consignee. No claims

for variances or shortages will be allowed by Boiler

Manufacturer, unless presented within sixty (60) days

after receipt of equipment.

Installation must conform to the requirements of

the authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of

such requirements, installation must conform to the

National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or

CAN/CSA B149.1 Installation Codes. Where required

by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation

must conform to the Standard for Controls and Safety

Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME

No CSD-1.

Provide clearance between combustible material and

boiler jacket (following clearances are minimums):
1. USA, 805H-807HE: listed for Alcove installation

a.  Front: 18”
b.  Top: 36”
c.  Draft hood, rear, sides and flue connector: 6”

Appliance is design certified for installation on

noncombustible flooring only. For installation

on combustible flooring only when installed on

special base listed in Table 2. Boiler must not be

installed on carpeting. When boiler is installed on

concrete which is over a material that is subject

to melting (PVC, PEX radiant tubing, etc.), the

special base must be used. A concrete pad is not

sufficient to protect combustible flooring.

2. USA, 808HE-810HE: for installation in room

which is large in comparison with size of boiler.
a.  Front: 18”
b.  Top: 51½”
c.  Draft hood, rear, sides, and flue connector: 6”

3. Canada, 805H-810HE:

a. Top and front: 18” (45.7 cm)
b. Flue, rear and sides: 6” (15.2 cm)

Provide clearance for servicing and proper operation

(following clearances are recommended and may be

reduced to minimum clearances shown above):
1. Single boiler, 805H-807HE, Front/Top: 24” (61.0

cm)

2. Single boiler, 808HE-810HE, Front/Top: 48”

(122.0 cm)
3. Multiple/modular boiler, USA /Canada, Sides: 1”

(2.5 cm)

Install boiler on level floor as close to chimney as

possible. For basement installation provide a solid base

such as concrete or masonry construction if floor is not

level or if water may be encountered on floor around

boiler.

Protect gas ignition system components from

water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler

operation and service (circulator replacement, control

replacement, etc.).

Provide combustion and ventilation air in accordance

with applicable provisions of local building codes,

or the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI

Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation; or CAN/

CSA B149.1, Venting Systems and Air Supply for

Appliances.

Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be

provided to assure proper combustion.

The following guideline is based on the National Fuel

Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.
1. Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms

communicating directly with space (through

permanent openings not furnished with doors) are

considered part of space.

Volume [ft

] = Length [ft] x Width [ft] x Height [ft]

2. Determine Total Input of all appliances in space.

Round result to nearest 1,000 Btu per hour (Btuh).
3. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by Total

Input.
a. If result is greater than or equal to 50 ft

per

1,000 Btuh, space is considered an unconfined

space.
